Tenth Circuit Appeals Court Says Fourth And Sixth Amendment Rights Are Meaningless When National Security Is On The Line

A case involving the first criminal suspect to be notified by the DOJ that evidence against him was derived from Section 702 surveillance has just reached an end. The Tenth Circuit Appeals Court has decided there's nothing wrong with the...

“Oof. If this damage is going to be undone, it will have to be the Supreme Court doing it. And historically it hasn't shown much interest in challenging government national security claims or its bulk surveillance programs. Things look pretty dire here in the Tenth Circuit. Rights just aren't rights when national security is involved.“

10th Circuit Court of Appeals rules same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional in Oklahoma

Another AP story on the Tenth Circuit same-sex marriage decision striking down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage. Good reporting.

I'm quoted in this AP story by the very bright Nicholas Riccardi. My best guess was that the Tenth Circuit same-sex marriage opinion would be 2-1, but I hoped that Judge Kelly's civil rights record might presage an openness to marriage equality. Unfortunately that was not the case.

I wrote up answers to some common questions about what's next now that the Tenth Circuit has issued its decision invalidating Utah's ban on same sex marriage.

The panel will hear argument in the Utah case on April 10 and the Oklahoma case on April 17.
